Habs wrap-up road trip with a stop in Manhattan on Sunday

NEW YORK -- The Canadiens are back in action in Manhattan on Sunday, less than 24 hours after visiting the Washington Capitals on Saturday.

Montreal is coming off a 6-1 loss in D.C. which saw the Caps score three times in the opening 2:51 of play, while Alexander Ovechkin scored a first-period hat trick en route to a four-goal night for the Russian forward.

Brendan Gallagher was the Habs' lone goalscorer at Capital One Arena, getting one back shorthanded in the middle frame. The 25-year-old's tally was Montreal's second shorthanded goal in as many games this season, following Phillip Danault's effort while down a man in Buffalo on Thursday.
